Many newer versions of smartphone and PDA operating systems now include the ability to start background processes. Due to hardware limits, background processes on mobile operating systems are often restricted to certain tasks or consumption levels. On Android, CPU use for background processes is bounded at 5 - 10%.[1] Third-party applications on Apple's iOS are limited to a subset of functions while running in the background.[2] On both iOS and Android, background processes can be killed by the system if they are using too much memory.
